C1A70 Rear left height sensor supply.
I’ve just changed both rear upper suspension arms and after finishing and running the engine it’s come up with this fault.
It’s taken a few weeks to do the replacements and in that time the battery has died enough to not be able to start the car (other stuff still works). Jumped it off my Range Rover and that fault just keeps coming back every time I clear it.
Need to get it sorted as MOT was due last month and need to retest before swmbo gets annoyed her car is off the road for too long!!!

Is that what it could be?

Hi
Indeed , after replacing the upper arms it’s need aligning , can light up the dashboard like a xmas tree
Assume it was perfectly ok before u replace the arms
Know it’s not an easy job and like many of us had the pleasure of replacing them
The hunter 4 x wheel alignment system is the recommend one to have done
Did u do all ur bolts back up on the arms with it back on the ground

Hi
Cheers for the reply , understand it can be a royal pain
Was trying to find out if u had tightened them up with the wishbone hanging down, reason for it so can at least ensure it’s set up right before u get the alignment done and save u some grief
Feel for u , many of us having back issues

Good luck with that ,
Ur be better off finding a garage that has the hunter systems
Need to unload the wishbone, as at the moment the bushes are twisting and won’t last long , so need to be all undone again, wishbones preloaded then done up
Plus if you’ve allowed the ABS module to empty u need diagnostics to open it again
With these u really need to set them up correctly or ur keep getting problems
